At $30 per haircut, you’d need about 8 billion haircuts skipped to save that much. Dude must cut his own hair every few milliseconds.

60 interviews, at just 15 minutes each, is 15 hours a day. Someone is putting in an astounding amount of work for just $300.

That’s not a vulnerability. That’s intended and desired behavior. It was really useful in this case too.

Something really fun I found out recently, when my friend lost all access to his system except for a single WebDAV share by accidentally turning off all his remote admin access:
If you write “b” to /proc/sysrq-trigger, it will immediately reboot the system (like holding down the reset button, so inherently a bit dangerous).
He was running Nephele with / mounted as the share, so luckily he just uploaded that file with a single “b” in it, and all his remote admin stuff came back up after the reboot.

This absolutely can happen to stable projects. This has happened with Mastodon many times, and Mastodon has been stable for years.

This is very cool, but also very dangerous. Many projects release versions that need some sort of manual intervention to be updated, and automatically updating to new versions on docker can lead to data loss in those situations.
Here’s a recent example from Immich:
github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/…/v1.133.0
It is my humble opinion that teaching newbies to do automatic updates will cause them to lose data and break things, which will probably sour them from ever self hosting again.
Automatic OS updates are fine, and docker update notifications are fine, but automatic docker updates are just too dangerous.
- Comment on Why make it complicated? There's a simple solution 1 week ago:
I mean, gay people are also a part of society. As are asexual people. If you mean society would collapse if there weren’t straight people to have kids, then you’re neglecting IVF. At one point that was true, but modern reproductive medicine has removed society’s dependence on the straights.

That does make sense considering every other developed country has free healthcare and literally 100% of there young men spend every waking hour playing video games.

- Comment on Home surveillance set up 2 weeks ago:
I have all Reolink cameras and they’re awesome. They have both indoor and outdoor cameras. They’re really expensive compared to other similar cameras, but the software is really good, and there’s no subscription. You don’t even need to log in. Everything is only stored locally, on either SD cards in the camera or a separate “home hub” (or both).
The way I have them set up is every indoor camera is plugged into a smart outlet that disconnects their power through Home Assistant when either me or my wife are home.
The outdoor ones are connected to solar power, so I didn’t even have to run any wires.
I’d highly recommend them.
- Comment on How can websites verify unique (IRL) identities? 2 weeks ago:
Safe, yeah. Private, no. If you want to verify whether a user is a real person, you need very personally identifiable information. That’s not ever going to be private.
The best you could do, in theory, is have a government service that takes that PII and gives the user a signed cryptographic certificate they can use to verify their identity. Most people would either lose their private key or have it stolen, so even that system would have problems.
The closest to reality you could do right now is use Apple’s FaceID, and that’s anything but private. Pretty safe though. It’s super illegal and quite hard to steal someone’s face.
